Best car wash

Why? Hoffman Car Wash is its category killer, claiming more than two-thirds of the tally, cruising past runner up Colonial Car Wash in its various locations and the Glenmont Car Wash in third place. Hoffman’s vote-getting is surely well-served by the fact that the brand boasts 14 washeries in the four counties of the Capital Region along with one in Queensbury and a pair in both Hudson and Kingston. These days we’re not just talking wash-and-dry and detailing and vacuums. In Colonie at the corner of Wolf and Sand Creek roads, you can get the touch-free laser treatment and self-service shampooing 24-7. But the newest member of the fleet, which opened recently, will soon be rolling out the next big thing in the form of a self-service dog wash. One problem for local drivers with dirty dogs. This one’s in Vestal, which is outside Binghamton.
